I just received the Pyramyd Air catalog and they are running a 10% off sale on your first order. I called and spoke with one of the customer service individuals and asked about several of the higher end air pistols, specifically the Beeman P1 and the Weihrauch HW 75. He recommended the P1 due to the lifetime warranty.

Does anyone here have a current manufactured Beeman P1? If so, how do you like it?


Seeing some of these fine old air guns is a trip down memory lane. In my previous career, I was a buyer for one of the largest sporting good stores in the country and one of my vendors was Beeman air guns. I met Dr. Beeman on several occasions and over the years I have owned many of his wonderful rifles. I bought and sold quite a number of them and the one I kept was an R1 in 25 caliber, the special "Laserized" rifle with the laminated stock. It still wears the SS2 scope and is currently on second floor chipmunk extermination duty. Many years ago I took it to Pyramyd for service and they did a wonderful job while I waited.

I had an older one. Didn't care for it. Basically, don't like the firing behavior of spring pistols. Much happier with something recoiless . . .

I have a .177 S&W 6" 586 CO2 pellet pistol and I have five 10 shot magazines which is almost exactly what you get out of one CO2 cylinder. The gun has a nice light SA trigger and a decent DA trigger and is quite accurate and I have killed a few squirrels and snakes with it. I have had several single shot pellet pistols that are slightly more powerful and accurate but I don't enjoy reloading after every shot and when hunting usually the game is gone by the time you get reloaded. Those .177 pellets are so tiny I've probably dropped more on the ground then I've fired so carrying the loaded magazines for my pistol is great.
